Pro3W CMS version 1.2.0 contains an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability allowing attackers to bypass authentication and gain administrative access.
CERT Polska coordinated the disclosure of CVE-2025-15498, a SQL injection vulnerability in Pro3W CMS software. The flaw exists in the login form where improper input neutralization allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass authentication mechanisms and obtain administrative privileges. The vulnerability was confirmed in version 1.2.0, though the exact affected version range remains undetermined due to lack of vendor response.
The vulnerability represents a critical risk as it combines unauthenticated access with the ability to escalate to full administrative control through a common attack vector. SQL injection in authentication forms is a well-understood attack pattern that can be readily exploited by attackers with basic technical skills.
The vendor has not responded to disclosure efforts, though CERT Polska indicates versions released in January 2026 and later should address the issue. Organizations running Pro3W CMS should immediately verify their version and update to the latest release if available. The vulnerability was responsibly reported by security researcher Jacek Czepil.

Detection guidance
Possible SQL Injection Attempt Against CMS Login Form
Detects common SQL injection meta-characters/tokens submitted to login or authentication endpoints, consistent with unauthenticated SQLi auth-bypass exploitation such as CVE-2025-15498 in Pro3W CMS. Auto-generated starting point — validate and tune in your environment before deploying. IOC matches can false-positive on shared infrastructure and decay as adversary infrastructure rotates.

Administrative Authentication Success Immediately Following Suspicious Login Request
Flags an HTTP response indicating successful authentication or redirection to an administrative panel occurring in the same request/session as SQL injection style payload in login parameters, suggesting authentication bypass via SQLi. Auto-generated starting point — validate and tune in your environment before deploying. IOC matches can false-positive on shared infrastructure and decay as adversary infrastructure rotates.
